There are multiple standards for the PCI spec, and some long cards. The slots
in the Mac fit both, the PC ones don't.

This works like a charm to fix Weather Widget in 10.5.8
1. Have access to 10.6.x
2. Compress System/Library/WidgetResources, to move to desk top.
3. Replace 10.5 System/Library/WidgetResources with 10.6 System/
Library/WidgetResources
4. Also swap weather widgets from 10.5 and 10.6

These are 64bit PCI slots, not PCI-X, there is a huge difference. There was
an early G5 PowerMac that had PCI-X slots but no G4 ever did.

I like the SATA drive idea as well. A couple of weeks ago I found out you can
